About

Heroes of Might and Magic 5: Ghost of the Past is project started with no commercial  purpose it represent an addon of Heroes of Might and Magic 5.

Why? - Heroes 5 is the newest title in the heroes series but it is totaly different... many traditions for the series are removed, like legendary heroes (Sandro) or  favourite creatures like the azure dragons. Many descriptions are changed, many heroes are dead and the story line is not typical for HoMM.

Ubisoft and Nival want for create new beginning for the series, with no links with the old HoMM games...

Other reason is that in HoMM the player haven't got the "same potentiality" like in Heroes 4 for an example, or that  the towns are not very well-balanced.

And finally the interface and the comic graphics + animations are really harassing sometimes.

Our addon will include:

# Renegades as a playable race;
# Drastic changes to the Necropolis;
# Different looks for male and female heroes;
# new neutrals, artifacts, heroes, spells and campaigns;
# additional features in menus and spell books;
# new legendary heroes, creatures and artifacts from the old series.

... and 5 new campaigns + many, many, many others !

No problem Kronos, I'm always up for some texturing.  Thy will be done:



A small list of changes from Markal's skin:

+ Changed the beard to brown, the shape is different too.
+ Black clothes are now red, no longer gloomy and emo.
+ Markal's pentagram insignia has been changed to the cross-like one the Zealots wear.
+ The gemstone is now green, not purple.
+ Skin complexion is less grey, brighter.

Any preferences for the horse?  I can alter those textures too, maybe I should change the colour, or even give her some armour?
